They should've used him more

They should've used him more

What movie?

I cant wrap my mind around this being a still from an actual Star Wars movie

But then we wouldn't have gotten Benecio "Bitcoin" Del Toro

I thought it was Jason Lee.

>a touch of grey adds an air of distinction

Bitcoin?

Can someone please explain to me why, after we're repeatedly told that this guy is the ONLY one who can shut down the hyperspace tracker, Finn and Rose just happen to find some stuttering bum in a prison cell that claims he can also do it? And that actually seems to be able to back up that claim?

the only explanation i can come up with is fucking atrocious writing

the entire subplot was inexplicably bad

Because it's all a lie, no one gives a fuck about Le Resistance, they are a joke, no one expects them to win.

The movie was terribly written, that's why.

the movie really needed more shitty irrelevant side characters

This guy canonically fucked the Annoying Orange

Explain

Especially now that Poe got half the rebels killed by failing to destroy the tracker (which was a pointless mission) that exposed Holdo and Leia's plan.

I thought for sure they were going to casually reveal Del Toro was the codebreaker they were looking for, and Theroux was just some guy who happened to fit the description.

was he really the codebreaker though?

Theroux may have won Del Toro's brooch, then del toro got caught cheating and thrown in the cell.

Man, its fun to think about better stories than the one we got.

This. I still think Del Toro was the codebreaker they were looking for.

I wrote it off as Nupita Lyongo's character being wrong and that this dude was the real codebreaker like .

If it was intentional or not, it's bad writing. The whole movie is about subverting expectations and shit got played out real quick. Rian Johnson is a hack and Kathleen Kennedy and her crew wouldn't give any heroic moments to any male except for Luke reduxing Obi-wan's death and Finn getting a few hits on Phasma before she fell to her apparent death.

Disney paid him in some small amount of bitcoin for his role in the movie

How the fuck is basing an entire movie (a sequel no less) on "subverting expectations" supposed to work? The plot is more important than the plot devices, do they not understand that?

the leftovers

>Hahahaha, you thought THIS was gonna happen? No, it's obviously THIS!

Yeah, because that's how memorable movies are written. Just throw red herrings everywhere, fuck the actual story

They almost did.

>In early drafts, Finn and Rose would actually reach the Master Codebreaker, who ropes them into infiltrating Canto Bight’s most luxurious hotel to steal the fortune of one of the guests, a wealthy warlord. They end up being caught and chased by the police to the rooftops, where they are arrested. Finn and Rose are imprisoned, while the Master Codebreaker is turned over to the warlord – seemingly for execution. It is then that Finn and Rose meet DJ in jail.

Also

>Early drafts featured Lando Calrissian as the Master Codebreaker.

>Early drafts featured Lando as the code breaker
Why didn't they keep this? I literally thought this would happen until I saw the bond villain with the rose on his shirt, and then it clicked that Disney would just keep introducing shit new characters and subsequently throw them out immediately

That's somehow even worse, so good they didn't do that I guess.
And bringing Lando back for no reason too? What the fuck are they doing with these movies

Johnson said Lando deserved more than a quick cameo, but they couldn't also give him the DJ role because Lando would never betray the Resistance for real.

I went to take a piss when they arrived to the casino planet and I missed all of based leftovers guys cameo
I got back when finn and rose were arrested and met with del toro so i naturally thought he was the codebreaker all along
what a fucking shitshow this movie is, its far worse than BvS

Let JJ Abrams do all the heavy lifting, but also force the other 2 guys (before Trevorrow was fired) to start pre-production before 7 was even finished. Absolutely no planning whatsoever. They're doing this trilogy by the seat of their pants and there is no one within Lucasfilm that knows how to separate good ideas from bad.

It's not fucking hard. If you're playing with $200 million dollar budgets multiple times, slow the fuck down and take at least a year off to get things in order before you start filming.

Everything about the entire casino subplot felt like it was straight out of the prequels

It had both animals and annoying kids, the two things about the prequels I hated the most.

That sounds even worse.

Based Theroux

Wtf? Why was he paid in a small amount of bitcoin for this role, instead of money??
